Executive Coaching

Development and guidance

Leaders at every level are faced with handling the challenges associated with leading in a rapidly changing environment. At the same time, they must focus on their own development in order to remain effective. Executive coaching is an effective way for leaders to identify and refine the skills that are critical for their continued success. Leaders often utilize coaching to develop key skills, facilitate a transition, seek advice and guidance around complex issues, and address undesirable behaviors. The process provides an insightful and trustworthy opportunity to discuss the issues that impact effectiveness.

Executive Coaching

A seasoned and generally well regarded leader in a large healthcare organization had a reputation for flawless execution and deep expertise. When she was promoted into a broader leadership role and found herself accountable to get a great deal of work done informally through others, she struggled. Given her interest to improve and the organization's view of her long term potential, she inquired about an executive coach to help her before things went awry in what was a critical and highly visible role. Leadership Solutions was brought in to do personalized executive coaching in order to help her better understand how her style impacted those around her, and to discuss practical behavioral changes that were needed. While the results of the process were challenging for her to hear, she soon began to appreciate that her success depended on her ability to adjust and adapt. After committing to developing new behavioral "habits" over time, she began to see the results - which ultimately allowed her to continue her upward trajectory and feel personally better about the impact she could have.
